Vehicle: 1997 Acura Integra LS
Issue: The car wont start. Had to jump the battery recently, but it ran fine after. I drove to work, and when I tried to start it to go home nothing happened. No sound at all, no clicks, no cranking, no turning, just the sound of the key turning in the ignition.
I have tried:
trying to Jump it had no change. Still no cranking, clicking, or turning. Also, the lights and radio turn on, and don't look faded as though they weren't getting enough power.
Checked the fuses for ignition and the inside fuse box, and checked the fuses in the engine fuse box. Nothing blown.
I believe it is the starter or ignition but I'm not a huge car guy. I did notice the ignition seemed to be getting finicky. I sometimes had to turn the ignition on, then back to off, then on again. But it would start up just fine. No odd stuttering once it engaged. So most likely the ignition?
The other issue is the car is stuck in a sub level garage that no local tow trucks can fit into, a 5'5 clearance. The ramp out is too steep to push it. My insurance has told me they can't help find a tow. I'll call around and see if any out of network towing companies can help but I don't expect there are any. I even called the parking garage itself, and they said they didn't know of anyone who can tow out of there. I don't know how I would get it to a shop aside from getting someone I know with a towing capacity vehicle (and apparatus to tow) to drag it to the street. I'll look into it of course.
So the best solution is I fix it inside the garage, preferably before the parking garage charges me a fortune.
